A bit baggy bit still unc although not worth slabbing unless you get a perfect one

yes the dreaded bag marks that are so common these day so very hard to get a good one :( You might be lucky but prepare for a bit of study colour as it takes a while to get the hang of grading and I'm getting pretty confident with my silvers but still a long way to go with coppers as the colour really comes into it then and just starting on trying to work out decimals but having a few slabs on hand help greatly so one day I hope to be pretty good on all coins :)

Got 5 1991 50c Rams heads UNC from a roll they are 2 x 2's but they are in a lot better shape than the $2 coins I posted.

Grading at this level is proving to be a good place to start.

Using the $2 coins and getting the two comment is extremely valuable!

Thank you! colour
